Hi, Guest
I'm sad to see "the sports car" go, but I won't miss the cramped quarters, lack of warranty, ridculous in-town mileage (90% of my yearly driving is within North Bay), wonky cold running, wonky-when-cold transmission, etc.
It's a great car when it's warmed up and you're carving a road / highway. For daily driving it's actually a waste as it sits there and stares at you, begging you to drive it. :( I should know, it's sitting right outside my office window right now.
I'll still have heated seats, a moonroof, wicked sound system, stability/traction control, even leather seats. I've gained a trip computer with usable neat stuff (distance to empty, average economy, etc), a compass, AWD, ground clearance for winter time and camping, room for the dawg, etc.
The only thing I've lost (besides acceleration!) is sat nav. I have the Garmin handheld GPS still with a suctioncup mount, and that'll do till I decide whether it's worth it to get an "Auto" GPS or not. :D
Oscar - yeah, settling into the car first thing in the morning can be a tad jarring. There's definitely not much room in there for me, really! I enjoy driving it (and even 5+ hours in a shot) but it takes time to get settled into it.
